Every time he saw Yang Shu, the emperor's jealousy grew stronger.
He was once in his prime, and he was also high-spirited.
It is precisely because youth brings strong ambition that he succeeds in planning and sits in this position.
But now, he was lying on the hospital bed, watching this kid take away the thing he valued most.
"No...possible..." He trembled his lips and uttered three words.
How could he enter the palace? Zhang Tan clearly promised!
Yang Shu smiled, turned around and said to Guo Xu, who was following him with a low eyebrow, "Your Majesty would like to have a heart-to-heart talk with me. Mr. Guo, please wait outside if you can."
Guo Xu lowered his head and bowed his waist, looking like a treacherous minister who flattered his horse.
"I obey the decree."
After saying that, he turned around and shouted arrogantly to the other ministers: "The Holy One has something to tell His Highness the King of Yue, so we shouldn't be an eyesore. Let's go and wait over there."
Seeing that the King of Yue was about to become the new king, how could the ministers get into trouble with his most ruthless subordinate? Even if there were people they didn't like, they could only despise them secretly in their hearts and were not stupid enough to speak out.
Yang Shu entered the inner hall.
Concubine Pei stood up to greet him and asked him in a low voice: "How are you on the road? Are you in danger?"
Yang Shu smiled reassuringly and replied: "Are you talking about Zhang Tan? It's okay." He added, "He can't touch me."
Concubine Pei breathed a sigh of relief and patted his arm: "Mother knows that nothing can stop you."
"Of course." Yang Shu responded, "As long as I think that my mother is still here, I will come no matter what."
This scene of deep love between mother and son made the emperor grit his teeth even more.
He regretted it so much. When he discovered this kid's true identity, why did he soften his heart and let him go?
then……
"Mother, wait a moment, I will have a few words with him."
Concubine Pei nodded and stepped aside.
Wan Dabao knew he should avoid it, but looking at the emperor's appearance, he shamelessly stayed.
Yang Shu didn't care and strode to the bed, looking down at the angry emperor.
In the past few years, the emperor was like a giant mountain, pressing heavily on his body. Any thought could make him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
But now he looks so fragile and old, as if he will break if he is pinched.
After a while, Yang Shu spoke: "Twenty-four years ago, were you the one who killed my grandfather and the others?"
He asked very calmly. Just looking at the expressions of the two of them, it seemed that the person with deep hatred was the emperor, not him.
The emperor's breathing became rapid, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Mr. Zhong!" Yang Shu shouted outside.
Zhong Yue appeared at the door and responded, "Yes."
"I'd like to help you stabilize the condition of your Majesty."
Zhong Yue came over to take a look and replied: "Your Majesty's situation is not optimistic. Emotional stability is the first priority. If the situation continues to fluctuate so violently, ordinary people cannot guarantee how long it will last."
"I'll do it." Mingwei followed him in, took off his cloak, took out a magic talisman from his sleeve, slapped it on the top of his head, and said, "It can at least solidify the soul for an hour. What do you want to say?
Ask, ask now."
With the combination of the soul-fixing talisman and Zhong Yue's golden needle, the emperor's condition improved significantly, as if he had taken a golden elixir, and his breath became smoother.
Yang Shu asked again: "Zhang Tan has admitted that he planned this incident. What do you say?"
The emperor stared at him gloomily and spoke smoothly: "So... so what?"
Anyway, his life is not long, so what if he admits it?
Yang Shu was not surprised at all: "Sure enough, that's why you played a role in the rebellion and reaped the benefits."
The emperor made several gurgling sounds in his throat. Wan Dabao hurriedly poured tea soup to soothe his throat and supported him while carefully feeding him the medicine.
The emperor didn't care about hating him. He took a few sips and felt much better.
This sense of comfort gave him the desire to speak.
"Where...do you need me to do anything? Every one of them...wants the other to die! I'm just passing on a few words...that's all."
Yang Shu sneered and refused to argue with him: "So you admitted that you took part in the rebellion. Even the bandits who destroyed our family can't escape your involvement!"
The emperor sneered: "Even without me, do you think... the second brother will let the eldest brother go? They have long been... life and death!"
"Even so, if my family dies, you can't shirk the responsibility."
The emperor chuckled twice: "Yes, so what? I... also sent other people there, but unfortunately... you ran too fast and couldn't..."
He cast his gaze on Concubine Pei, and the malice in his eyes made her look disgusted.
The concubine could understand the second half of the sentence without him having to say it.
He sent someone to finish it off, probably wanting to take this opportunity to take her back.
This thought is really disgusting!
Yang Shu nodded, took a breath, and said calmly: "Just make sure you intervene. So, you are indeed my enemy."
The emperor snorted: "Succeed as a king and lose as a bandit, it's nothing more than that! Now... you can say whatever you want!"
Yang Shu did not argue with him and continued to ask: "What about my grandmother? Before she and my grandfather died, you visited them in another courtyard, right? Their deaths were also ordered by you, right?"
This grandfather refers to the old Marquis Boling.
The emperor made a sound in his throat, but he acquiesced.
Yang Shu stared at him, not knowing whether he was sad or angry: "You provoked the three brothers, how can my grandmother be sorry for you? Empress Taizu died early, she took the eldest sister's place as mother, and she loved and cared for you.
Jia, after taking care of you for more than ten years until you came of age and opened a mansion, don't you feel any gratitude to her in your heart? How could you do such a thing as forcing her to die?"
The emperor laughed, showed a sarcastic expression, and did not hide his dissatisfaction: "If she...has the consciousness of being the eldest sister, she should...treat everyone equally! My eldest brother is the prince, why...can't I be the emperor? But
What did she do? She secretly hid you... didn't she hope... that one day you would take away my position? "
After saying such a long string of words, even if he came back to his senses, he couldn't hold it in any longer and gasped again and again.
Yang Shu looked at him disappointedly: "Is this how you miss her?"
The emperor sneered, as if to say, isn't it? Seeing that you are standing here today, aren't you just thanks to her?
Yang Shu shook his head. He had long been disappointed with the emperor, but he did not want his grandmother to be wronged like this.
"You know she loves and protects her younger brother, so how could she watch my grandfather cut off his last bloodline? Isn't that how Ah Wan was saved? You guys are not princes or princes in her eyes, just her younger brothers. She doesn't
I hope something happens to any of you, do you understand?" (To be continued)
